I pronounce it ress-ih-pross'-ih-tee, though when I'm talking fast it sounds more like ress-uh-pross'-uh-dee.
And when I'm drunk it sounds like rep-luh-soss'-uh-dee.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/reciprocity and click on the pronunciation speaker.
If you want to sound like a Mrs Hawking, that is.

The pronunciation of the second syllable will probably depend on where you're from. 'ah' in some parts of the States, 'uh' in other parts, and I pronouce it with an 'i', because there's a fscking I in it (sorry, had to steal a joke from Eddie Izzard (50 seconds in))
